Emmanuel Medina - Math/Science Teacher

Emmanuel "Manny" Medina likes long walks on the beach, sunset  
picnics, and puppies. His turnoffs are rainy days, too much make up,  
and bad breath. He works out at 24-hour Fitness, concentrating on his  
gluts.

Emmanuel "Manny" Medina joins ARISE High School as a math and physics  
teacher. He brings eight years of teaching experience and two years  
with the Coalition of Essential Schools working with Laura Flaxman.  
He immigrated from the Philippines at a young age and became the  
first in his family to graduate from American Universities, earning  
his Bachelor's Degree from UC Santa Cruz and his Master's from  
Stanford University. Manny is the also the lucky husband of Shane  
Safir and proud father of Mona Luz Medina-Saifr (genius toddler).
